In 2000, the United States federal government passed the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), which is intended to protect children from indecent information on the Internet and prevent personal information about students from being available online. Specifically, CIPA requires schools that receive e-rate funds to install and maintain filters to restrict access to inappropriate content. It requires steps to protect youngsters using email, chat, and similar tools. CIPA does allow the filter to be disabled when only adults are using the network, but that is rarely done as children are hardly ever absent from school when adults are there.

The primary goal of COPPA is to place parents in control over what information is collected from their young children online. The Rule was designed to protect children under age 13, while accounting for the dynamic nature of the Internet. The Rule applies to operators of commercial websites and online services (including mobile apps and IoT devices, such as smart toys) directed to children under 13 that collect, use, or disclose personal information from children, or on whose behalf such information is collected or maintained (such as when personal information is collected by an ad network to serve targeted advertising). The Rule also applies to operators of general audience websites or online services with actual knowledge that they are collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under 13, and to websites or online services that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information directly from users of another website or online service directed to children. Operators covered by the Rule must:

1. Post a clear and comprehensive online privacy policy describing their information practices for personal information collected online from children;
2. Provide direct notice to parents and obtain verifiable parental consent, with limited exceptions, before collecting personal information online from children;
3. Give parents the choice of consenting to the operator’s collection and internal use of a child’s information, but prohibiting the operator from disclosing that information to third parties (unless disclosure is integral to the site or service, in which case, this must be made clear to parents);
4. Provide parents access to their child's personal information to review and/or have the information deleted;
5. Give parents the opportunity to prevent further use or online collection of a child's personal information;
6. Maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of information they collect from children, including by taking reasonable steps to release such information only to parties capable of maintaining its confidentiality and security;
7. Retain personal information collected online from a child for only as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and delete the information using reasonable measures to protect against its unauthorized access or use; and
8. Not condition a child’s participation in an online activity on the child providing more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that affords parents the right to have access to their children’s education records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the education records. When a student turns 18 years old, or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents to the student (“eligible student”). The FERPA statute is found at 20 U.S.C. § 1232g and the FERPA regulations are found at 34 CFR Part 99.

School districts throughout the State of Illinois contract with different educational technology vendors for beneficial K-12 purposes such as providing personalized learning and innovative educational technologies, and increasing efficiency in school operations. 

Under Illinois' Student Online Personal Protection Act , or SOPPA (105 ILCS 85/), educational technology vendors and other entities that operate Internet websites, online services, online applications, or mobile applications that are designed, marketed, and primarily used for K-12 school purposes are referred to in SOPPA as operators . SOPPA is intended to ensure that student data collected by operators is protected, and it requires those vendors, as well as school districts and the Ill. State Board of Education, to take a number of actions to protect online student data. 

Depending upon the particular educational technology being used, our District may need to collect different types of student data, which is then shared with educational technology vendors through their online sites, services, and/or applications. Under SOPPA, educational technology vendors are prohibited from selling or renting a student's information or from engaging in targeted advertising using a student's information. Such vendors may only disclose student data for K-12 school purposes and other limited purposes permitted under the law. 

Oak Park and River Forest High School is a member of the Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC) and this alliance has provided a platform for school districts to work collaboratively with education technology vendors to ensure student data is always protected. Oak Park and River Forest High School maintains THIS Website which lists our edtech partners and the associated Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) . Please note that this list will be updated as the District enters into new agreements. 

In general terms, the types of student data that may be collected and shared include personally identifiable information (PII) about students or information that can be linked to PII about students, such as: 

• Basic identifying information, including student or parent/guardian name and student or parent/guardian contact information, username/password, student ID number 

• Demographic information 

• Enrollment information 

• Assessment data, grades, and transcripts 

• Attendance and class schedule 

• Academic/extracurricular activities 

• Special indicators (e.g., disability information, English language learner, free/reduced meals or homeless/foster care status) 

• Conduct/behavioral data 

• Health information 

• Food purchases 

• Transportation information 

• In-application performance data 

• Student-generated work 

• Online communications 

• Application metadata and application use statistics 

• Permanent and temporary school student record information 

Operators may collect and use student data only for K-12 purposes, which are purposes that aid in the administration of school activities, such as: 

• Instruction in the classroom or at home (including remote learning) 

• Administrative activities 

• Collaboration between students, school personnel, and/or parents/guardians 

• Other activities that are for the use and benefit of the school district 

Recent amendments to SOPPA give parents greater access to their students’ covered information, including rights to:

• Inspect and review their student’s covered information
• Request a paper or electronic copy of covered information from the school, even if that information is maintained by an operator or ISBE
• Request corrections to factual inaccuracies contained in a student’s covered information if the school determines such an inaccuracy exists

If you need assistance in any of the above or related to any questions involving your student’s data, please email helpdesk@oprfhs.org.
